Hiker wearing 2nu sunglasses on a forest trail for the Hiking and Everyday sunglasses guide.

Your activity match

Weekday streets, weekend trails—choose one daily pair that still reads the ground clearly.

Road and glass reflection, phone checks, forest shade, roots, and long hours all sit inside this use case. Hexachroma fits frequent screens and changing detail; TVO Pro suits stronger reflected glare, with frame feel chosen for all-day comfort.

The four issues that matter most across your two activities

We selected two high-priority issues from each activity. Open any card to see how 2nu addresses it.

01

Green and brown merge together

Leaves, soil, tree trunks and trail shadows sit within similar green-brown tones. A lens with a similar colour balance can flatten the terrain into a monotone scene.

How 2nu solves it

Green outside, balanced contrast through the lens

From the outside, the coating looks green; through the lens, the view leans violet-red. This helps separate greens, browns and shadow detail for a more balanced trail view. It applies to all green-coated TVO, TVO Pro and Hexachroma lens options, including green-coated Prescription and Prescription Hexachroma options.

02

Reflections change throughout the day

Roads, glass, vehicles and water create different reflections as you move through the day.

How 2nu solves it

Choose for your dominant use

Choose TVO Pro when glare control is the priority. Choose Hexachroma when you also want clearer outdoor detail and a screen-friendlier polarized option. The right choice depends on where you spend most of your time, not simply the darkest tint.

03

From forest shade to an exposed ridge

One trail can move quickly between deep shade and strong open light. A lens that is too dark can hide roots and surface detail under tree cover.

How 2nu solves it

Balance shade and open light

Hiking is not about choosing the darkest lens. 2nu recommends balanced light control based on the amount of tree cover and exposed terrain, keeping open sections comfortable without losing too much detail in the shade.

04

Quick screen checks turn dark

Some polarized lenses can make a phone, watch or navigation screen look dark from certain angles.

How 2nu solves it

A screen-friendlier polarized option

Hexachroma helps reduce common screen black-out effects while retaining polarized glare control. Results vary by device, polarization direction and viewing angle, so check the devices and angles you use most often.

Questions before you choose

Use these answers to compare the lens, frame and conditions that matter across your selected activities.

01Should I choose Hexachroma or TVO Pro for hiking?

Choose Hexachroma when flagship terrain detail, changing-light clarity and easier phone or GPS checks matter most. Choose TVO Pro when strong polarized glare control on exposed ridges, wet rock or water is the main priority.

02Can one pair cover walking, driving and weekend outdoor activities?

Yes. Compare the recommendations already shown for the selected activities, then check the exact lens and frame option for glare control, screen readability, changing-light balance and flotation where relevant. The complete pair should cover the shared conditions; Prescription configurations do not float.

03Why does 2nu recommend green-coated lenses for hiking?

Hiking scenery is dominated by foliage, soil, trunks and shadows within similar green-brown tones. A green-coated 2nu lens looks green from the outside but gives a violet-red-leaning view through the lens, helping separate greens, browns and shaded trail detail. This colour balance is available across green-coated TVO, TVO Pro, Hexachroma and green-coated prescription options.

04Can Everyday sunglasses be made with prescription lenses?

Prescription availability depends on the frame, lens option and prescription range. Select Prescription in the product callout, then provide your prescription and PD so 2nu can confirm compatibility before production.
